Report shows Australian demand for digital connectivity at an all-time high

Findings from the ACMA’s Communications report 2016-17 show that Australia’s demand for online content and services continues to grow unabatedly.

Australians downloaded over 3.1 million terabytes in the June 2017 quarter – up 43 per cent on the same period a year prior.

Findings also show that the mobile phone is the most popular and frequently used device for web access, and 89 per cent of all Australian adults currently use the internet – with the figure climbing to 100 per cent among those aged 18 to 34.
